How To Keep Mushrooms From Getting Slimy
Have you ever had soft, rubbery mushrooms that almost taste….. slimy? I LOVE all things mushroom - but there is absolutely nothing worse than weak, soft, and slimy mushrooms with very little flavor or texture.
To make perfectly delicious mushrooms, you have to let them release their liquid and brown them to be slightly crispy - it brings out the rich, meaty flavor in mushrooms everyone loves.
To do this, we’re cooking the mushrooms over high heat until they are golden brown before we add back lots of liquid to the pan when we add in white wine.
How To Get Perfect Sautéed Mushrooms:
-Add mushrooms only after pan is scorching hot and olive oil is shimmery/butter is melted and foamy.
-Be sure to salt and pepper mushrooms while sauteeing with butter or olive oil.
-Don’t add your cloves of garlic to the pan until mushrooms have started to become soft brown.
-Be sure to mix in gourmet mushrooms of all shapes and sizes - I use baby bella mushrooms as a “base” and then add in some fancy mushrooms since they tend to be a lot more expensive.
-When adding wine, keep the pan over medium heat and then return to high to cook off.
-Serve sauteed mushrooms when piping hot - reheat with a little butter in a pan for leftovers.
To Make This Sautéed Mushrooms Recipe, You’ll Need:
- 2 tbsp butter, set 1 tbsp aside
- 1 tbsp olive, canola or other oil
- 1 ½ pound Gourmet Mushrooms, cinnamon cap, oyster, king oyster and shiitake, fill out your ½ pound with cremini if you can't source some of the mushrooms but try as many exotics as you can
- 5 cloves garlic, diced
- ¼ cup white wine, use half grape juice and diluted white wine vinegar OR ¼ cup stock if you don't cook with wine, though wine will taste best
- salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Stovetop
- Cast iron or other heavy pan

Perfect Sauteed Mushrooms
Quick and easy- these perfect sautéed mushrooms are a fabulous side dish you won't be able to get enough of!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter, set 1 tbsp aside
- 1 tbsp olive, canola or other oil
- 1 ½ pound Gourmet Mushrooms, cinamon cap, oyster, king oyster and shiitake, fill out your ½ pound with cremini if you can't source some of the mushrooms but try as many exotics as you can
- 5 cloves garlic, diced
- ¼ cup white wine, use half grape juice and diluted white wine vinegar OR ¼ cup stock if you don't cook with wine, though wine will taste best
- 1 tsp celtic sea salt (+ more to taste if desired)
- 1 tsp black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a heavy pan or cast iron skillet.
- Add oil and ½ butter.
- When almost smoking, add mushrooms.
- Stir and let mushrooms brown slightly season with salt and pepper.
- Add remaining ½ butter and garlic.
- Stir quickly to heat garlic, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Add white wine (caution- it will release a LOT of steam when it hits the pan).
- Let wine cook down.
- When liquid is fully absorbed, taste.
- Add any additional salt to taste (dont add before, the butter may make your mushrooms saltier than you realize when cooked down).
- Serve warm!

Great tips! What about cleaning (paper towel, never put them in water, is that true?)? And do you remove the stems I assume (just twist them out)?
Courtney ODell
I just wipe them down with a paper towel - and yea, I never soak them in water since mushrooms take on a LOT of water! I love the idea to add more tips on cleaning mushrooms, thank you!

This recipe is so delicious, even with cremeany mushrooms, that I prefer it to almost any meat. Mushrooms have never tasted so good. I used Liberty Creek Moscato for the white wine, and I think it was a good choice. I'm definitely going to make this again, but I'll try different mushrooms. I'll bet it would be amazing with morels. I'm going to have to buy a bigger skillet.
